Gunman in Ft. Lauderdale airport baggage claim
« on: January 06, 2017, 11:18:58 AM »
Looks like he picked up his bag from the carousel, took his legally-transported gun and ammo into the restroom to load, then came out and started shooting.

Dammit.

Anyone could easily walk into baggage claim and start shooting the place but of course, the "libturds" (I just heard that the other day) will focus on preventing guns and ammo in luggage.

That's what I initially thought but then my wife reminded me that you don't need to go through security to enter the baggage claim area. Plus he legally transported the firearm in his bag.

It's the gun's fault

True, but aren't there always security people in the baggage claim areas?

If I cannot rely on all those TSA agents or security guards to keep me safe at an airport then I deserve a larger tax refund.
Then I can hire private security to guard my luggage.

I wonder why he chose to fly all the way from Alaska to Ft Lauderdale bagage terminal to do the shooting?  I find that very unusual.   He could have done this at the Alaska airport and saved himself a trip.  Or find a more symbolic and crowded place in Florida.  I get that people get agitated from long flights, but wonder what his reasoning is.

Another incident in a gun free zone.

The weather is much nicer for shooting in Florida.

False flag. Folding my tin foil hat as we speak.

Only way to reduce shooting damages, is to end gun free zones.

I had the same question plus he went to Alaska from Canada. I mean why Florida?  There's Seattle  or how about even a more fun place to do this California.

News just reported he went to the FBI and reported the government was forcing him to watch ISIS videos, They did a psych evaluation and let him go.

That's more likely to happen now in Trump's country.

Why did Ted Bundy escape custody, drive to Chicago, Michigan and Atlanta, then board a bus to Florida, only to commit murder there?  He could have lived in Florida for a long time had he stayed off law enforcement's radar.

Florida has the death penalty.  Had he been caught in another state and returned to Colorado, he would have been facing life.  He stated after being sentenced that he believed he deserved death.

Yes, but if you're being hunted for murder, why kill in a death penalty state unless you hope to get caught and be put to death?

I'm wondering if that's part of the FLL gunman's thought process.  Buying a ticket, flying, waiting for baggage that might have been delayed ... makes no sense if a public airport massacre was the only motive.

Well something sure looks strange to me also.  Flying to FLA from AK to kill?   Laying down on the ground after he's out of ammo?   Linking his story to ISIS?   Guess anything is possible but sure doesn't follow the current trend of multiple shootings.   Maybe the murderer thought DJT was still in FL and wanted to make an anti-Trump statement..  For sure these anti-Trumpers are getting more psychotic every day.
